THEY LIVE IN GUINEA

This video tells the story of a hardworking, self-sufficient, fiercely independent
community of fishermen and women working the waters of Virginia's Chesapeake Bay.
Guinea Neck, a once isolated village, must now grapple with conservationists, government
regulators, and the sports fishing industry in order to preserve its way of life. This
documentary not only captures the colorful, dynamic character of the Guinea "watermen"
and the rhythms of their work and speech, but also traces the complex changes thrust
upon their traditional ways by a fast-food society that threatens their ability to live off
the water.
